Rechab

35:19 Rechab. The descendants of Rechab and Jonadab were apparently also related to the Kenites and Moses’ father-in-law (see Judges 1:16; I Chronicles 2:55). In any case, they were courageous, devout and firm in their convictions, even abstaining totally from wine. God honored them for this, and Jeremiah used them as a standard of comparison to the others in Israel. Note also II Kings 10:15, as a testimony to the spiritual stand of Jonadab.
